The success of a tech startup, like any company, will depend entirely on the competency of the people who work there. Even if you are not a top-level manager where you work, it will be good for everybody when all employees work hard to achieve the same goal.
The best way you can ensure that happens is by becoming a mentor to other people who work in the company. As long as you have the skills and experience necessary to help others, that should become part of your job each and every day.
Here are a few tips to help you out:
- Ask for questions before a meeting: If you tell your advisee to write down some questions they need answers to before a meeting. Not only will this help you set the agenda for what you want to cover, it will also provide them with valuable information.
- Make introductions: One of the best things you can do for somebody is introduce them to other people in the company and allow them to network effectively. A company is strongest when everybody knows each other and can work with a wide group of people.
- Use other resources: Just because you are advising somebody doesn't mean you should be the only person they turn to for help. Make sure that the person takes advantage of the connections they make within the company and industry to further their career.
